Water and lipid-soluble antioxidant; supports healthy glucose metabolism and nerve health*.
Alpha lipoic acid is both water and fat-soluble which allows it to function in almost any part of the body as an antioxidant. A key component of the metabolic process, alpha lipoic acid produces energy in muscles and directs calories into energy production. Also, it helps maintain healthy glucose metabolism, supports the nervous system and provides nutritional support for healthy liver function.
Alpha lipoic acid supported nerve health in subjects who participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. The ability of alpha lipoic acid to modulate nitric oxide metabolite activity and to promote healthy microcirculation accounted for its ability to promote nerve cell health in two separate studies.*
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a multifunctional nutrient which plays a key role in the antioxidant network and the metabolic process.*
•Supports healthy glucose metabolism and the nervous system with water and fat-soluble antioxidants*
•Can function as antioxidant in almost any part of the body*
•Made with hypoallergenic, vegan ingredients*

⚠ Key cautions
Cautions: potent antioxidant with direct effects on glucose uptake. Prescription interactions: SIGNIFICANT — may lower blood glucose, requiring dose adjustment/monitoring with insulin, sulfonylureas and other glucose-lowering medications (hypoglycemia risk); may affect thyroid hormone levels — monitor with thyroid replacement therapy; theoretical antioxidant interference with some chemotherapy regimens — review with oncology treatment. Priority: Moderate-high for those on glucose-lowering therapy.
